Ive had my parakeet for about 7 years. He is very healthy and lively and very loud haha. But when he was about 5 his beek got long for having him such a long time. And ever since i got it cut the first time it grows back veryyy long very fast. Is there anyway to make it less long besides cutting it once a month. Its traumatizing for the poor thing. And i got him the beek trimmers to use himself but it doesnt help. And i was told to put bird gravel in his food but that didnt work either. Wut do i do??|||Chew toys!!! Wood, things for him to basically gnaw at and wear his beak down|||Does he have a cuttle fish and a calcium perch in his cage? These will both help keep his beak in shape.|||An overgrown beak can be an indicator for an underlying problem, such as liver disease. I have an elderly cockatiel who suffers from this, and now that he is on medication and a special diet to support his liver, his beak does not overgrow to anything like the same extent.
If I were you, I would take your bird to an AVIAN (bird-qualified) vet and have him properly checked out. A general vet is no good at all, they cannot perform the diagnostic testing required to get to the bottom of birds' health problems.
